Chapter 420: Piles of Blackstone

”Dao friend Mo is right, there indeed are some traces of arrays left behind, but I’ve never heard of anyone warding off Colourless Leeches with arrays before. So why would the person set up an array here?” Master Pu Zi replied with a stern face.

To Master Pu Zi, the blackstone quarry could just take a backseat. The uncompleted battleship was the real priority.

Mo Wuji shook his head, ”No, if that person also has an extremely strong flame like myself, he can definitely block out the Colourless Leeches through arrays…”

Before Mo Wuji could complete his sentence, Master Pu Zi interrupted him, ”Dao friend Mo, you can use arrays to block out Colourless Leeches? Are you planning to mark out an area for me to complete the battleship, on top of searching for blackstone here?”

If Mo Wuji could really do so, then it would be the best choice to finish up on the battleship in the Mining Area of Death.

”Yes, I do have such an intention. What do you think about it?” Mo Wuji said as he looked towards Master Pu Zi.

In his heart, Master Pu Zi instantly understood Mo Wuji’s thoughts. If Mo Wuji could really set up such an array in the Mining Area of Death, then he would be able to carry on forging the battleship with a peace of mind. Moreover, the other intention would be to prevent him from leaving. Even after completing the battleship, he would not be able to take it out of the Mining Area of Death without Mo Wuji’s permission.

Master Pu Zi shot a gaze at Mo Wuji once more. He did not think that Mo Wuji was doing something wrong, as he would do the same in Mo Wuji’s position. If Mo Wuji put the battleship into his hands after hearing a few words from him, that would make him even more uneasy.

How would a callous cultivator steer them to the other side of the Immortal Chasm? No wonder he dared to face Lord Axe alone, and still managed to exchange some stone slags. The only unknown was how many stone slags he obtained. Was there a thousand? If so, then dao friend Mo was much stronger than imagined.

The reason that Mo Wuji wanted to do things this way was to prevent others from disturbing Master Pu Zi from smithing. But just as Master Pu Zi had correctly interpreted, he also had to keep his guard up against Master Pu Zi.

As long as he could set up the defensive array in the Mining Area of Death, then Master Pu Zi would be able to stay within it to forge the battleship, and would not be able to leave without his permission.

This place was swarming with Colourless Leeches. Even if a flying ship could take off, the Colourless Leeches would swiftly invade the interior of it.

”I agree, this is indeed a good location.: Master Pu Zi nodded his head in agreement of Mo Wuji’s idea without hesitation.

”Brother Mo, you said that there was someone that set up arrays around he? Could that person also be here to cultivate or hide?” Lou Chuanhe asked. If the other party was here only to mine for blackstone, then he would only have to sustain a defensive layer of fire, and would not have to set up any defensive arrays.

”No, if I’m not wrong, this person is probably here to mine blackstone. On top of that, his spiritual will can reach at least 10m below the surface. He set up an array here because there was a pile of blackstone here previously.” Mo Wuji’s spiritual will could detect the freshly dug soil. No matter how fast the black soil readjusted itself, there were still traces that blackstone had just been mined from the area. The reason why the person set up an array was due to the large amount if blackstone present.

Jia Qi also understood what Mo Wuji meant, but since Master Pu Zi didn’t seem to be on the same page, she continued to keep her mouth shut.

”Dao friend Mo, when I’m forging the battleship, I cannot be disturbed. Since someone has been here before, will he affect my smithing?” Master Pu Zi asked with a tinge of worry in his voice.

Smiling, Mo Wuji replied, ”No problem. I assure you that there will be no one else but us around. If my defensive array can be broken so easily, I wouldn’t think of even coming here.”

When Master Pu Zi heard Mo Wuji’s words, he heaved a sigh of relief.

On the surface, it might seem like Mo Wuji’s battleship was not a magic treasure. However, such a battleship was extremely challenging to forge, as every piece of material was difficult to cut or smelt. The carving of every single rune on it had to be done with utmost precision too. The slightest error could reduce the battleship’s defensive capabilities. Otherwise, why would Wu You have gathered 10 of the most outstanding smiths to work on it?

”Dao friend Mo, where will we set up camp?” Jia Qi couldn’t help but ask as she saw that Mo Wuji had no intention of stopping. At this point, they were all like Master Pu Zi, simply following Mo Wuji into the depths of the Mining Area of Death, and anything that happened after that was beyond them.

”There’s no rush, wait till I find some blackstone.” Mo Wuji replied.
